Ideation themes/categories to include*:
- Transparency
- Aid Effectiveness
- Assurance & Anti-Corruption
- Citizen Engagement/Community
- Connectivity/Big Data
- Procurement/Contracts
- Mobile & Web Applications
- Data Journalism
*Selected ideas to be presented to Random Hacks of Kindness for development on June 2-3, 2012. Ideas to be selected on the basis of creativity, innovation, potential impact, collaboration, feasibility/implementation plan.
Join us to learn more about open financial data and its current uses, brainstorm with others on important development issues, and potentially be a part of a development solution! Refreshments, snacks, and light reception to be provided.

Experience the essence of Historic Anacostia during a monthly walking tour held every third Saturday at 10 am and organized by Main Street Anacostia. Tour participants will travel along the historic routes of Anacostia and will see and learn about various landmarks in the historically-rich neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River. Tour stops include Rosie’s Row, Frederick Douglass home, Old Carver Theatre, and the” Big Chair.”
The tour was made possible by funding from tour partners including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Bank of America, and the Anacostia Economic Development Corporation. In addition, Anacostia High School conducted the initial research of the properties on the tour; while history consultants Dianne Dale and Marya McQuirter finalized the information and created the tour route.
